March – Cultivating

Many hunts are short, lasting only a few days or even weeks. However, there are legends of great hunters that tracked and followed their prey to alien worlds and stalked them for months or years waiting for the right chance to strike. Sometimes these worlds were starved for resources and the Hunter has to set up a semi-permanent camp to act as a central base (or place of concealment), and grow their own food to be able to continue their hunt.

Challenge:
Grow an edible plant.

Novice:
With the help of a parent, choose seeds from a plant that produces something edible. Start the seeds (get them to germinate) and then plant them in soil.

Journeyman:
Building on the Novice Level Challenge, start some seeds and get them to germinate, plant them, and get them to mature into a seedlings that are ready to be planted in the ground or some kind of growing pot. Once you’ve planted them in the growing pot or ground take a picture.

Expert:
Building on the Journeyman Level Challenge, with the help of a parent – cook (if needed) and eat something that came from one of the surviving seeds you first planted (this can be a fruit, grain, nuts, a tuber, or even the leaves of the plant – whatever is the edible part). This challenge will take some time, probably more than one month to complete. Take a picture of the meal created from your plant.

Send what level you completed (Novice, Journeyman, or Expert) with a photo of what you accomplished to strill@verdikacorps.com and remember to include your Verd’ika Mandalorian Name for credit.
